Abstract excerpt
Infection with murine leukemia virus (MLV) TR1.3 or the related molecular construct W102G causes severe neuropathology in vivo. Infection is causally linked to the development of extensive syncytia in brain capillary endothelial cells (BCEC). These viruses also induce cell fusion of murine cell lines, such as SC-1 and NIH 3T3, which are otherwise resistant to MLV-induced syncytium formation. Although the...
